He must at least have felt that he was missing something vitally important.

This was a totally new idea - that ANYONE was eligible to be saved, not just the Jews, who believed themselves to be the "Chosen" ones of God. It would have taken a huge movement of heart, mind and spirit within Nicodemus to make him 'see' and understand. We don't get a follow up on Nicodemus, what he did later, but presumably, having been totally unable to interpret what was being said to him, he went back and joined the cabal who condemned Jesus.
